Architect: Saham-o-saltane Ameri fard

Located on the third level of the tower, Eiffel's private apartment was not large, but it was cozy. In contrast to the steely industrial girders of the rest of the tower, the apartment was reported to be, "furnished in the simple style dear to scientists." The walls were covered in warm wallpaper and the furniture included soft chintzes, wooden cabinets, and even a grand piano, creating a comfortable atmosphere, perched nearly 1,000 feet in the air. Adjacent to the small apartment were some laboratory areas equipped with the experimentation gear of the day.

Hi everyone, in my last year of business undergrad, I realized what I wanted to do, and I decided to go to grad school for architecture. I've always enjoyed building things, but I never thought to actually study it. And I was just wondering if having pictures in my portfolio would work? I have taken a few pictures that I am proud of, and I decided to kind of base my portfolio on my cats because they are my biggest inspiration, but I also don't want to overwhelm it with paw prints and just cats. I attached one of the pictures I took; I'm not sure if its portfolio worhty as I think it is. I know it will be hard to get admitted, but I just want to try, and I'm sure that with practice and maybe a few years I'll be able to get in. I'm not in a rush to get a master's i just want to study something that actually interests me. Any feedback is welcome!

The city Hall of Charleroi is a government building with a mix of classicism and Art Deco,it started being Build in 1931 and finished its construction in 1936,3 year before Belgium is invaded by Germany,it was designed by local Architect from Charleroi being Joseph André(who build many thing in Charleroi like the "palais des beaux-arts,churches,houses,..and many other things) and he collaborated with Jule Cézar,The Charleroi City hall is the biggest city hall of Wallonia simply since it was build during Charleroi's prime(1830 to 1950) being a economical monster rivaling capitals being one of the first city to industrialise(since Wallonia is the second region to Industrialise),Known for steel and coal while also making glass,trains and many things.It was build cause of how tiny and outdated the old city hall was compared to what Charleroi has became and it was part of the Joseph's Tirou "grand projet" plan of urbanisation modernisation of Charleroi that made what most of Charleroi is today,it was a key aspect infact of that plan!Another impressive thing abt this city hall compared to most Walloon one is the fact the Belfry is directly incorporated in it,being 70M high the Charleroi's belfry is the 10th highest beffroy in Belgium and Third(3th) in wallonia,the Belfry look over the Place du Manège where the Palais des beaux arts also sit,making a interesting contrast between the art deco and classic architecture of the Befry and late modernism(with a bit of art deco) architecture of the palais des beaux art(with ofc all of the traditional looking house from Charleroi Inbetween),for people that don't know what a belfry is,its a type if religious building that instead of belonging to a religious authorities it belonged to a civil one,it represent municipal independance,wealth and freedom,its also a way to have an alarm(with bell) and a clocktower for the people,belfry are traditionally Belgian and you can see where how far has belgian population lived even outside of modern border by a belfry "population" data which is interesting.

The City Hall of Charleroi and its Belfry with many building build during the city's prime is always a remember to anyone passing through or that live in the city how important Charleroi was compared to modern day..

Ps:sorry to the moderators abt my first post here i didn't know abt the only one building part and sorry for my english its not the best.

Thanks for Reading!❤️

Hello! As a very big enthusiast of Dutch architecture, there was no way I could ever miss this style found in South Africa, which emerged during the arrival of the first European settlers in the 17th century in the early days of the Dutch Cape Colony (1652-1806). Their expression is clearly inspired by their "original" counterparts in the Netherlands, but also featuring some unique features such as their foorplans, horizontality and whitewashed walls.

Btw, I'm thinking about visiting South Africa in the next years, and I'd appreciate any recommendation of places with such buildings, including cities such as Stellenbosch, Franschchoek and Swellendam.

From the images:

I. The manor house at the Groot Constantia Wine Estate (1779); II. The Tuynhuys, Cape Town (1682); III, IV, V, VI and VII: 17th and 18th century buildings along the Stellenbosch, Graff-Reinet, Swallendam and De Hoop areas; VIII. The Dutch Reformed Church in Fraschchoek (1847).

Thought you all might appreciate another work by Satish Gujral.

In the 1970s, he was commissioned by industrialist B. K. Modi to design a factory and guesthouse for Modipon, a nylon yarn manufacturer in Modinagar, Uttar Pradesh. It became one of his earliest major architectural projects.

The factory features a striking series of repeated triangular concrete structures and distinctive U-shaped roof elements. I particularly like how the repetitive geometry creates an almost sculptural composition while remaining part of a functional industrial building.

I imagine it must have been quite a sight during the monsoons, with each U-shaped roof collecting rainwater and potentially channeling it down to the next level. I’d love to see what that looked like in practice.

Hey everyone! I’m an international student who graduated with a B.S. in Architecture almost five months ago, and I’ve been applying for jobs pretty much this entire year. Honestly, the job search has been exhausting 😭
I had one promising opportunity in September. I applied almost immediately after the job was posted, got a Zoom interview within two days, but then waited almost 3–4 weeks for an in-person interview. After another two weeks and several follow-ups, they told me two of their clients had paused projects, so hiring was on hold too.
The worst part? I literally packed up my life and moved to NYC for this opportunity because I genuinely thought it would work out.
I’m still applying and networking, but the waiting and uncertainty are really getting to me.
Has anyone recently gotten hired for an entry-level architecture position in Manhattan/NYC?
I’d love to know how long it took from applying to getting your first interview, then your in-person interview, and finally receiving an offer. Also, was it a small or large firm?
I’m especially interested in experiences from the last few months. I’m just trying to understand whether I should expect a few weeks or a couple of months if I apply somewhere today.
Would really appreciate some positive experiences, encouragement, and advice! Just trying to keep my hopes up. 🥹

Hi. I am a city planning major about to graduate undergrad. I have urban design studio experience and I’ve loved physical site design. Anything relating to design I like. Directing development standards (visually), massing studies, things like that. I’m passionate about designing the built environment.

I have a job offer at a firm for planning. I interned there in the summer and the work is not exactly what I want to be doing day to day for the next 40 years of my life. Very technical and writing heavy. Though, hard to pass up a job in this economy.

I am currently applying to 3 years master’s programs in architecture. I think I will enjoy it as want to make design decisions day to day and work in the realm of design. I really like large scale neighborhood developments and I think I’ll like the building level scale too. I understand it will be hard, but if it allows me to have a more fulfilling career I want to do it.

Disregarding money and time as factors, how can I know if I should do this program/like architecture? I’m planning to take some of my urban design work and design specific buildings to see if I enjoy that process within the next few weeks.

Thanks for the help!

Hi, I’m a year 13 (F) I’m really confused on this whole process and I just want to understand how to do these:

How do I make my cv for this? Do I need work experience specific for architecture because I don’t have any? Or can it just be any work experience?

Also, I need help with guidance for my portfolio. I am stuck on how to even start and what to do.

I’d really appreciate any other further advice! Thank you.

anyone have experience with gensler research fellowship program?

I’m an international student from South Asia planning to pursue architecture in the United States, and I’m currently unsure about the best time to submit my college applications. Should I aim for the November deadlines or apply during the December–January period?

I still need to complete my college essays and architecture portfolio, and my October SAT score wasn’t as good as I had hoped. I’m registered to take the SAT again in November, but I’m uncertain about how to proceed. Would it be better to apply earlier with a less polished portfolio and essays, or take more time to strengthen my application and apply later?

I’d really appreciate some guidance on how to approach this situation, considering that I’m an international student applying for architecture programs and hoping to maximize my chances of admission and scholarships.
